Summary
They handed him an Omega with ash still in his hair.
Lando stood barefoot on the marble floor of a city that had swallowed his name, his future, and the scent of the man he was promised to. He said nothing. He didn’t bow. He only stared — jaw tight, eyes brighter than any fire that took his home.
Oscar Piastri was a commander, not a keeper of hearts. The boy was a war spoil, nothing more. He told himself that, again and again, as days passed and silence turned into glances, glances into questions, and questions into something dangerously close to care.
The rules of war are simple: Victors take. The conquered yield.
But Lando has never followed rules.
And Oscar? He's starting to forget them.

Summary
Max knows he's not gay. He's been certain of this fact ever since Daniel dragged him to that damned psychic all those years ago. Sure, she’d made mention of a future husband, but she’d also predicted five back-to-back WDCs for him, so obviously she was wrong.
Five titles in a row always seemed so impossibly out of reach, but as Max closes in on the end of the 2025 season, he starts to question everything.

Summary
Oscar arrives in North London with nothing and no one. A broken past, a pull-out mattress, and a name that gets him in more trouble than it’s worth.
He wasn’t supposed to stay. He wasn’t supposed to race. And he definitely wasn’t supposed to fall for the boy who sees everything but never lets anyone in.
But the streets don’t care what you’re supposed to do. And neither does Lando.- Language:

Summary
Lando Norris, internationally famous rockstar, has three main priorities: drugs, avoiding eye contact, and pretending emotions don't exist.
To most, he's just flippant; a hot, young thing with messy habits. So what if he washes down breakfast with a shot of vodka? He's a rockstar, it practically comes with the territory of being too young and too famous.
But the reality of it is a lot more destructive.
Enter Oscar Piastri. Engineering student. Polite and boring to a fault. Really, he's nothing interesting.
Except, after one too many nights taken too far, Lando's manager hires Oscar as his chaperone.
Lando hates him immediately.
As the band's tour drags on, as the looming threat of FIA's album deadline becomes ever the more pressing, as Oscar gets dragged deeper into a strange world of glitz and grime, Lando begins to think that things might finally turn out fine.
Except things are never, ever fine with him.

Summary
“Oscar’s an accountant too!” Max says, then he turns to face Lando. “I didn’t know you were one, Charles didn’t tell me.” Charles makes an affronted noise at being wrongfully accused.
Max continues, “Do you know him?”
Maybe he shouldn't have lied about the accountant bit, Lando thinks, as he stares back at Max.
Who the fuck is Oscar?
